Chargers get blackout extension

UNION-TRIBUNE

The Chargers announced Thursday they have received a 24-hour extension from the NFL to try and sell enough tickets to lift the local TV blackout for Sunday's game against Kansas City.

Such extensions usually result in the blackout being lifted, although the Chargers said they still have about 3,900 tickets remaining for the 1:05 p.m. game at Qualcomm Stadium. That's just 700 less than they said they had 48 hours earlier.

If the blackout is lifted, the game will be televised in Southern California on CBS.
